Smiths - That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore lyrics

rate me

Park the car at the side of the road <br />

You should know <br />

Time's tide will smother you <br />

And I will too <br />

When you laugh about people who feel so <br />

Very lonely <br />

Their only desire is to die <br />

Well, I'm afraid <br />

It doesn't make me smile <br />

I wish I could laugh <br />

<br />

But that joke isn't funny anymore <br />

It's too close to home <br />

And it's too near the bone <br />

It's too close to home <br />

And it's too near the bone <br />

More than you'll ever know ... <br />

<br />

<br />

Kick them when they fall down <br />

Kick them when they fall down <br />

You kick them when they fall down <br />

Kick them when they fall down <br />

You kick them when they fall down <br />

Kick them when they fall down <br />

You kick them when they fall down <br />

Kick them when they fall down <br />

<br />

<br />

It was dark as I drove the point home <br />

And on cold leather seats <br />

Well, it suddenly struck me <br />

I just might die with a smile on my <br />

Face after all <br />

<br />

<br />

I've seen this happen in other people's <br />

Lives <br />

And now it's happening in mine <br />

<br />

<br />

I've seen this happen in other people's <br />

Lives <br />

And now it's happening in mine <br />

<br />

<br />

I've seen this happen in other people's <br />

Lives <br />

And now it's happening in mine <br />

<br />

<br />

I've seen this happen in other people's <br />

Lives <br />

And now it's happening in mine <br />

Oh ... <br />

<br />

<br />

I've seen this happen in other people's <br />

Lives <br />

Oh ... <br />

And now it's happening in mine <br />

Happening in mine <br />

Happening in mine <br />

Happening in mine <br />

Happening in mine <br />

<br />

<br />

I've seen this happen in other people's <br />

Lives <br />

Oh ... <br />

And now, now, now it's happening in mine <br />

(I've seen this happen) <br />

Happening in mine <br />

Oh... now, now<br />

<br />

<br />

I've seen this happen in other people's <br />

Lives <br />

Oh ... <br />

And now it's happening in mine <br />

(Happen) <br />

Happening in mine <br />

Oh ... <br />

Happening in mine <br />

Happening in mine <br />

Happening in mine <br />

<br />

<br />

I've seen this happen in other people's <br />

Lives <br />

Oh ... <br />

And now, now, now it's happening in mine <br />

Happening in mine <br />

Mine, mine <br />

Happening in mine
